Co-worker can debugger on web server but I can't

[Steve]

Error message: "Unable to start debugging on the web server. Unable to map
the debug start page to a machine name."

I can no longer run the debugger from my local PC for a project on our web
server. You know, F5 in Visual Studio. I can run in debug mode for a
project on my local web server.

The problem began one day about 3 weeks ago when I ran the project in debug
mode and somehow ended up breaking the .NET framework. Thank you Visual
Studio! I was able to repair the framework but I am unable to debug. My
co-worker oddly enough can run the project in debug mode. So the problem
appears to be something with my computer. I am running XP Pro with the
latest update 2. Oh how I long to get back to being able to debug. Please
help with suggestions on what I might try to fix the problem. Thanks. Steve

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. You may be able to find a more
approrpriate debugging group. Just remember that the .Net groups have the
word "dotnet" in their names.
